    What are people’s thoughts on the US firms’ working hours, I’m curious? If I see legal cheek reporting an average finish time beyond 8pm I don’t apply to a firm. I’m not against working hard but I want a life.

    35 year old career changer here. There were many older than me on the PGDL. If you’ve got what they’re looking for in terms of competencies and values why would they care about your age?
